The beauty of Affiliate Marketing is that you can make money even without a website or blog. This is made possible by driving traffic using Pay Per Click(PPC) Advertising.

Before you can promote any of their products, you have to register an account with Amazon. Registration is very easy and almost anybody is able to do regardless of age and gender.

Amazon is one of the largest online store and you can find practically almost anything! To promote any Amazon product, you must first register for an account. The link to join as an affiliate is located right at the bottom of the page.

After your affiliate account is ready, it is time to promote a product. This is a very important step in deciding if are going to make any money. You should look out for product that is very popular or product that is going to be in trend. The easiest way to get a feel of it is by pure observation.

Listen to what is the most favourite topic around you or watch advertisement on the TV. Other ideas can be found from the advertisement in your latest magazine. More ideas can also be found by browsing Shopping.com. By now I am sure you have an idea on how to zero in on a great product to be promoted via PPC advertising.

Once you are pretty confident on which product to promote, visit the directory of Amazon to locate your product. With millions of products in there, some store management is required. Products are basically listed in categories.

Very often the product that you are trying to promote is further sub divided under a sub category. Through this method, chances of you finding your product will be much higher and that will also help you save a lot of time. Jot down the product ID that you wish to promote. It is tag by ISIN or ISBN number. This is required when you are trying to get your affiliate link to promote this product.

To promote a product, ensure you are already signed in as an affiliate. Inside your affiliate admin page, click on the “Links & banners” tab. Next, click on the link for “Add Product Link Now” under the product category. Enter the ISIN or ISBN number in the search box and your product will be found without much delay.

Click the little tab, “Get Link”. Highlight and copy all the HTML code and paste it on notepad. Since we are using direct linking to promote this product, we only require the URL that is enclosed within the double quotation mark as shown in this example.(“ http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=(AFFILIATE CODE) &o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B001P5HRMI&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr”).

To make money with an Amazon product, paste the URL into the destination URL in your adword campaign. Ensure that your affiliate ID is within the URL and test the URL in your browser to ensure it is working!
